The Beadsmith Fireline by Berkley – Micro-fused Braided Thread – 8lb. Test, 007”/.17mm Diameter, 125 Yard Spool, Smoke Grey – Super Strong Stringing Material for Jewelry Making and Bead Weaving

FIRELINE: This is a microfused, braided bead thread consisting of Dyneema, a gel-spun polyethylene which is known as the strongest fiber, per diameter, ever created. It has an unbelievably high tensile strength and has been recommended in numerous how-to articles on beadworking. DETAILS: Made in the USA, our Fireline is 8lb. test and comes in a smoke grey color. The cord measures .007” (.17mm) in diameter. The 125 yards are wound on a spool that is secured with a clear plastic clip. Keep your thread secure and organized. EASY FINISH: Because this is a super strong material, we recommend using sharp, precise scissors for cutting the string. However, the thread can also be burned instead of snipping. A thread burner is easier to use and more precise. This method seals the ends, which prevents frayed edges or split ends. VERSATILE: Originally used by fisherman as a high-quality fishing line, this thread took off in the jewelry making world. It can be threaded on a needle and used for stringing or bead weaving. The thread does not stretch, or tangle and the strength of the cord is essential when working with heavier beads and findings.
